Warmth, protection, hygiene.

If you were born the only person on earth, you would eventually have something like socks on your own accord. This is function, not social. They wouldn’t be Xmas themed though, since no society exists to have invented Xmas and to show off your socks to.

Social constructs are, by definition, ideas or concepts.

Replying to wrong comment?

You’ll have to explain otherwise, since it makes no sense based on what I said.

I don’t know what the social aspect is apart from how the socks appear, but this isn’t why they exist.

Edit: Damn. Some of you are threatened by not knowing what a social construct is but really want to argue about socks instead of asking DDG so you can understand wtf is going on before leaving a comment.

I’d be proud of this shit show, OP 🤣

Linux gamers receive significant attention as Proton is now enabled by default

Significant attention = A 0 became a 1, saving you a few clicks after installing Steam.

The words quote the show? They feel more 80s–90s at most.

The image on the left is purely about living a life conforming to conservative social stereotypes based on gender. They believe in them so much they change for them. It’s like an innocent version of still thinking other skin colours are inferior, and enjoying the idea of playing the characters you saw in 1940s Looney Tunes cartoons.

Yeah McDonald’s is purely for on the road. Other food in its price range is leagues above. There’s better options on the road too, but McDonald’s is so small and minimal, it’s easy to eat with one hand and steer with the other; no mess.

Yeah, in my experience they’re underpaid and cop abuse all day. There’s a lot of tears, sick days, and anxiety in customer support, all of it young, much of it abusing substances to get through the day.

The kids aren’t paid anywhere near enough to deal with your attitude, nor should they be expected to. They aren’t the business; they’re the poor sods that have to work for them.

Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager who has backed President Donald Trump in the past, on Thursday pledged to use his money to bankroll a challenger to Mamdani in the general election.

Case in point.

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, “If not for immigration, who’s going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?”

Things aren’t so bad if you avoid doom scrolling and comparing yourself to others. Almost any other time was worse to be alive in.

I’ve stopped ordering breakfast dishes that say they come with sourdough. Apparently no one knows it should only be very lightly toasted and instead I get petrified bread that cuts up my mouth and is hard to cut with a knife.

That’s fine. Being the fastest at getting from A to B using just legs is rarely a deal breaker. Though, you’d have probably tried harder if the trophy was called the “Least likely to die in an open field of zombies trophy”.

You’d win plenty of trophies if they made an event for the stuff you’re best at.

“ball of fire”

Haha, no no. You threw down with a gigantic source of cell destroying radiation. The fire did no harm.

It felt worse. Getting a recognition certificate or a white ribbon for coming fourth was a total bummer to my care-factor for participating. Kick a kid while they’re down and they’re not likely to be motivated.

Based on a dogs shape and coat, you can pretty easily determine the breed families in it. It’s important to know since dog breeds are much more diverse due to their history with humans around the world—most have jobs bred into them. So it’s still good to know if your dog has breeding in it that thrives on exercise or fetch jobs or that sort of thing. Most of those little dogs are for hunting small vermin and are savage fuckers, for example.

Cats it’s mostly one size fits all with a random roll on personality stats.

It will burst. AI is improving at the same rate it always has and no one’s surprised, just LLMs have gotten attention from normal users who seem to think “this is AI”.

For actual AI, nothing has changed. You still need extremely well governed data and lots and lots of controlled training, lots and lots of condition farming and resolving, all at considerable cost not worth it for BAU, just AI-soecific projects.

It’s already bursting, as people realise what is AGI and what is non-logic LLMs and why the latter has limited use, especially with awful mass “training”.

The most realistic outcome is that LLMs are able to assist in increasing the pace of AGI.

The statement is not true, it’s just a competition no one else wants to be a part of.

Okay. Well the good thing about science is there’s lots of correlation figures you can go check out at any time instead.

But there are some more simple ways to see it like how obviously no one was known to have ADHD before it was identified. And how more people have it as it’s definition continues evolving to be more detailed and broad. That’s normal behaviour for conditions in medical science. We must know of its existence before anyone can have it; more people tend to have it as our understanding of the thing improves by leaps and bounds.
